All the losing entries should become suite names.
that's a great idea, just make sure they are not the stupid ones.

Including those that did not make the Top Ten?

How can I not support a Y.ES Condo?

^Who is the dude in the check shirt? A friend of the contest winner? He looks like he was just passing by and decided to join the photo.
Well, they went with the second of the two I thought they'd go with. I think the contest was probably a huge win for them. They built up excitement, got some free PR, and they have a decent-enough name.
The Final Report is also interesting. Does anyone know anything more about the Public Exhibit Space they mention?
"The 4-storey podium would cover the site in its entirety while the ground floor would
contain such uses as a residential lobby, moving and loading areas, retail space and the
‘Public Exhibit Space’ on levels 1 and 2. The Public Exhibit Space is intended to be part
of the pedestrian realm and accessible to the public throughout the day. The Exhibit
Space is intended to promote public awareness of the heritage aspects of the St. Lawrence
area."
They also have to provide "knock-out" panels for a possible future PATH connection - why isn't this mandated for the entire building so that units can be combined in the future?
Backstage is located on the southeast corner of Yonge and The Esplanade opposite the Sony Centre. The 36-storey point tower is an elegantly slim glass and steel structure rising from a 4-level podium. The roof of the podium will be a garden in the sky complete with a 55-foot swimming pool and cascading waterfall. The lobby will feature elegant stone accents blending natural materials with contemporary.
